The Raw after WrestleMania came out as a big disaster as it failed to even reach close to the expectations of many. Usually, Raw post-mania offers a variety of surprise elements, including returning or debuting superstars, new storylines, new directions to the characters, and many more. But this time, Raw marked an exception to this norm by being as blunt as possible.
One of the major flaws in this Monday Night Raw involved the women’s segment. The involvement and importance of women in WWE has been a long-debated topic. Naturally, it doesn’t take long for the report to stir a heated discussion regarding this callousness of the company.
Fans blamed Vince McMahon for WWE’s faulty dealing of the Women’s World Championship title at Raw

The report from the wrestle-features says, ‘If you are going to tell the audience that the Women’s Titles are World Titles (which is the right move)…
Don’t wait TWO HOURS into a show to even mention your Women’s World Champion.
Present her and the title as important.
Come on.’

It has been just reported that Vince McMahon got his hands back on the creative following a merger deal of WWE with UFC and it became more visible after a disappointing Raw episode last night. They pointed out that Vince McMahon’s interference in the creative made the entire show horrible to watch and certainly is the root cause of every flaw it had.

Fans rushed to the comment section to take a dig at McMahon, who previously dismissed his influence in the creative but now sneaked back at it in some way or the other.
For the fucking people that kept saying that there was no difference under triple compare to Vince, how bout this show tonight?? This is the nightmare of Vince

Some of them think the mishaps clearly say that it’s Vince there behind the scene.
Vince has to be running the show, and definitely rewrote the show a couple times.

A few of them criticized the entire show without sticking to just one particular segment.
This whole fucking show is a joke

However, McMahon’s regaining of control over the creative is probably because of WWE’s endeavor takeover.
Vince McMahon thinks the recent sale deal is the next evolution in WWE
Vince McMahon retired from his CEO role last year amid a couple of sexual misconduct allegations just to join after nearly six months mainly for felicitating WWE’s sale. It finally happened after months of speculation as Ari Emanuel, the CEO of Endeavor, bought WWE as a part of a blockbuster deal that merges the UFC and WWE into a new single company tentatively dubbed UFC 2.0.
Vince McMahon, who is the ultimate gainer of this deal, thinks that ‘this is the right time to do the right thing and it’s the next evolution of WWE.’
However, it didn’t benefit McMahon in respect of his image among the fans at all.
